TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO BUS® Chapter 2 DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2-8
Warning
The LP gas distribution system in your motor home is designed for
liquid propane (LP) gas ONLY. DO NOT attempt to connect and use any
natural-gas or butane-gas systems with this LP gas system.
LP Distribution System
The primary LP distribution system in the motor home is a black, steel pipe manifold running the length of the
motor home. The secondary distribution lines running from this main distribution system are usually copper
tubing with flare fittings. If any of the gas lines break, do not attempt to splice them—always run new lines to
maintain the safety of the motor home. It is strongly recommended that only qualified service technicians
perform this work.
Remember, the main valve at the LP gas tank must be closed whenever any gas appliance is to be installed,
removed, or serviced—this process prevents LP gas leakage which could result in a possible harmful explosion. If the
odor of LP gas (e.g., rotten eggs) is ever detected, immediately discontinue use of any gas appliances and seek the
services of a qualified service technician.
Recommended Precautionary Practices
The following practices are recommended to assure continued safety and reliability of the LP gas system; these are, of
course, representative; not necessarily exhaustive. In all cases, use common sense in the use of the LP system.
• Visually inspect the LP fill valve before any refueling operation to look for foreign materials or debris; remove,
as necessary, to assure a leak-tight connection.
• Prior to any re-fueling operation of the LP gas system, shut off all the pilot lights.
• NEVER, under any circumstances, check for LP gas leaks with any type of open flame; doing so would
probably cause an explosion and subsequent fire.
• Periodically inspect visually the entire LP gas distribution system; do so at least semi-annually and before any
major trips. Should problems be noted, seek the services of a qualified service technician to make necessary
repairs and perform any maintenance.
If any damage or corrosion is noted, contact an authorized service technician to inspect and repair or replace
the regulator. Do not attempt to adjust the regulator yourself; the regulator has been pre-set at the factory.
Only a qualified LP service technician using specialized equipment should adjust the regulator.
